This only works if the person you are trying to convince is rationally inclined. Most people are not (unfortunately). Emotional arguments work better for normies. Also, using a pyramid as a graphic seems to suggest that Name-Calling is the foundation of good argument.
yup is what we call "like playing chess with a pigeon"
doesn't matter how much you win the pigeon will keep flipping all the pieces, it will shit on the chessboard and will keep walking around breast-out
this actually means that you can only have a meaningful discussion when people share the same rules of the discussion and construction of text with you. and the only rules everyone can possibly agree on is called "logic". you cannot possibly have a meaningful discussion with people if they don't agree to what qualify as a "fact" or "perception" or "definition" it will simply result in a devastating mess of I'm right becuz fefes.

90% accurate statement, in my experience.
Hilarious.
The whole bottom of the pyramid is entirely what the left uses.

You can, the problem is if you only use the bottom ones without using the top 3, like the leftards do all the time.
The only bad tactic is one that doesn't work. "Leftards" control the government at all levels, the media, every major corporation, every NGO, every educational institution, and most churches. What they are doing works. Remember the Rules for Radicals, especially 5 and 13
So what are you going to believe: a graphic produced by some lefty educator meant to reduce the general populations ability to influence others, or the lefts own bible of how to win a propaganda war?
This chart only functions under the the assumption both sides are good faith actors.
Where does, without "you are", just a simple one-word declaration, screeching "nazi" over and over and over and over fall on the chart?
How about appealing to the current year?
And where does "think of the children and/or dead grandma" fall?
Because those three arguments seem to have shaped up a valid argument for instituting fascism. "It's 2021, nazi nazi nazi nazi nazi, dying grandmas. Therefore give me supreme executive authority over all life." appears, apparently, to be an entirely cogent and convincing argument to most people.

Doesn't this graph show that smug smiling faces are the peak of persuasion?
